==Flashcards==
A basic use of CALL is in vocabulary acquisition using [[flashcard]]s, which requires quite simple programs. Such programs often make use of [[spaced repetition]], a technique whereby the learner is presented with the vocabulary items that need to be committed to memory at increasingly longer intervals until long-term retention is achieved. This has led to the development of a number of applications known as spaced repetition systems (SRS),<ref>Mounteney M. ''Spaced repetition learning systems (SRS):'' http://www.omniglot.com/language/srs.php. Accessed 14 July 2011.</ref> including the generic [[Anki_(software)|Anki]] or [[SuperMemo]] package and programs such as BYKI<ref>BYKI (Before You Know It): A personalized language-learning system, designed to promote language proficiency by expanding the learner's vocabulary. The system makes use of a flashcard interface and tracks everything that has been learned, automatically presenting and re-presenting the material at appropriate intervals: http://www.byki.com/</ref> and phase-6,<ref>phase-6: A flashcard system that presents vocabulary at phased intervals, aiding long-term retention. http://www.phase-6.com/</ref> which have been designed specifically for learners of foreign languages.
